I have not translated the name of this little Portuguese-Brazilian pastry because there is not an English equivalent, at least that I know. The translation would be 'good bite.'
It is a dessert that brings up childhood memories; my mom would always make it!
It's very easy and quick to make.Ingredients | Dessert Recipes With Cream Cheese And Condensed Milk
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 eggs
1 pinch finely grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini cupcake mold with butter and coat with sugar.
Mix condensed milk, shredded coconut, eggs, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl until combined. Pour coconut mixture into prepared cupcake mold, filling each cup to 3/4 full.
Place cupcake mold into a roasting pan about 1 inch larger than the cupcake mold. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until it is halfway up the sides of the cupcake mold, about 1 inch.
Bake in the preheated oven until the coconut mixture is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack until the custard can easily be removed from the mold. Place custards into mini paper muffin cup liners.
Refrigerate until chilled.
Grana Padano can be substituted for the Parmesan cheese.
You can also use cupcake molds, but I'd just just fill 1/2 of the mold and give them a bit more time in the oven.
